Ryan got to call two times today! It was great! The first time he called he had 10 minutes and got to talk to his mom and dad since they were here. Then he got to call when he finished eating dinner. He told me so many things, so its hard to remember what to tell you. I do remember him telling me that a general came to visit and they chose Ryan’s squadron to be the one the general got to visit. Apparently Ryan’s flight, the Wolf Pack, is doing really well and might get honor squadron. The other day Ryan said the other squadrons used his squadron as an example to follow. Tomorrow morning at 5 am (3 AM our time) Ryan will be doing his PT test. Please pray for his strength and endurance. Pray that he will have enough adrenaline tomorrow to do the required situps. He said he is doing great in the way of pushups and running since he has been improving by 10 every week. You can do it Ryan! We love you!

Look how blue his eyes look and how blonde his hair is! Yes this is my little boy! Today is Zoe’s birthday! She is 17 years old! (also mummy is exactly 22 and a half years old!)

Grandpa Bob and Ronan cuddle.

Awww…another cute photo!

Grandpa and Grandma Aherin get to watch Ronan take a bath. He was really kicking hard this time! He loves swimming! Someone commented that he just needs a cigar, the way he looks in his water-lounger….Ronan just laughed!

What a perfect end to a perfect day! Ronan gets a blowdry after his bath! (Sorry I had to blur this one out because otherwise it was the full monty!)

Grandma, Nonna, and I went to Kohls tonight for the last day of their sale. Ronan and Grandpa stayed home. I found a really cute skirt and shirt that will be great for San Antonio and I know Ryan will really like how I look in it. It is a super cute outfit. Ronan got an outfit from each Grandma too. Ronan had a fun time with Grandpa and even took formula! In fact he was so hungry Grandpa had to make more for him to eat! Way to go Ronan! Ronan really had a fun time with Bob and Sue tonight. They bought him a fun Winnie the pooh pop-up book that plays all these different songs. He really likes when the songs play and kicks his legs with excitement! We got his swim trunks on and he started getting excited. When we put him in the tub, he started kicking and swimming all over the place in his swim buoy. I had never seen him kick so hard before. He was really enjoying himself. Then it was time to put him to bed and he went right to sleep. Nonna commented earlier that neither I or my sister went to sleep that easily. Ronan you are off to a great start!
